Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Rotted trim, a whole house outside and part of the inside, and the patio furniture hauled to the shop to be sandblasted and painted: that is how a 2025 Google reviewer described one job by Jim Steeves Painting. The company's website lists interior and exterior residential painting, commercial painting, cabinet refinishing, window washing and floor coatings, and names a service area that includes Gorham, Falmouth, Cape Elizabeth, Brunswick and Bridgton. The company says it has been in business for 20 years. A 2025 Google customer said the company had painted several houses for them, interior and exterior, and that they always mask everything off. That 2025 reviewer also credited Jim with guidance when they were unsure of a color or finish. A 2025 Google customer described an interior painting project on a new home and said the home was kept clean throughout. A 2025 Houzz customer said Jim and his guys painted a screened-in porch. On Houzz in 2025, a customer said the crew showed up in clean uniforms and that communication was good before, during and after the project. In 2014, a Houzz customer said Jim's crew was respectful of the homeowner's property. A 2025 Houzz customer gave three stars: Jim repainted their kitchen cabinets and pressure washed the exterior shingles, but after agreeing to come back for a few touchups and giving a timeframe, that customer said he disappeared. **Strengths:** - Careful masking — a 2025 customer said they always mask everything off - Rotted trim repair — a 2025 customer said Jim's team repaired rotted trim - Color guidance — a 2025 customer credited Jim with color and finish advice **Concerns:** - Touchup follow-through — a 2025 customer said Jim agreed, then disappeared ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A 2025 Google reviewer said Jim and his team repaired rotted trim, painted the outside and part of the inside of the house, power washed the window trim, and sandblasted and painted patio furniture _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNnbnU3YVVREAE!2m1!1s0x0:0xa4e0380926a20ed4!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgMCgnu7aUQ%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Jim and his team repaired rotted trim and painted the outside and part of the inside of our house.
